A big facet of the current debate over healthier school nutriton standards is whether kids are actually rejecting the new meals on a widespread basis. Just yesterday, as a matter of fact, I got into a Twitter debate with someone on this key question, with each of us offering conflicting data on school meal participation before and after the implementation of the new school food law.
So it was a needed bit of comic relief to watch this video of cute American kids trying out school meals from around the world, and seeing which foods they rejected (spoiler: most of them!) and which ones they dove into with gusto:
My main takeaway: we clearly need to be outsourcing our school food to Kenya. 🙂
